Zhouyi Books

[wealth]

Are there any good introduction books (and maybe more detailed books) on the Zhouyi Yijing tradition?

Thanks

Hi there,

What exactly are you looking for? Do you want to learn about the history of the book or just divination help?

A good history would be interesting, but I'm also (mainly) after the divination help.

Hilary has a handy book list:

And this recent thread added even more ideas:

This is my list. I recommend avoiding the books on the C List,
investigating the really good books labeled in bold,
and generally staying away from beginner's books.

Start with good straightforward translations like Lynn,
Cleary (the plain one), Wu Jing-Nuan, Huang, Wilhelm, Legge,
Blofeld, etc, before moving to the scholarly stuff.
A chapter on my site will walk you through the basic history.
Most books won't give you a plausible account, only a legendary
or exaggerated one that starts 5000 years ago instead of 3000.
